My hometown is Sa Pa- a district in the Lao Cai province in northwest Vietnam. Since Vietnam opens its door to the world, Sa Pa has attracted a lot of foreign tourists because of its unique climate, landscape and the life style of people here. Tourists who have come here are all fascinated by everything except for the accommodations.

Sa Pa’s landscape has many features of a mountainous region. It is surrounded by beautiful valleys and stepped paddy fields, where people cultivate their crops all year around. As Sa Pa has a highly seasonal climate, the scenery here changes continuously. In spring, people who visit here can see peach blossom everywhere, and in winter, snow appears in some highest peaks just like in Europe region. Moreover, in Sa Pa, tourists can also meet many tribal people. By visiting their houses which are hidden behind the mountains, tourists will be able to buy some traditional handicrafts or Luna wine, a kind of wine that has the unique taste of early rice. For many people, visiting these tribal people’s houses very fascinated is also because they can witness the way of life that hasn’t changed for generations of these tribal people. That, for example, although nowadays there are many tourists visit Sa Pa and wear western clothes, H’mong girls still wear strips of indigo cloth as leggings, and stunning silver hooped bangles around their necks and arms, what are all their traditional costumes. One more thing that makes people love Sa Pa is the Love Market. That every Saturday night, boys and girls from villages gather in here. They sing songs for finding their girl friends, boy friends and this creates a very romantic and somehow busy atmosphere under the dim light of the moon.

Besides many features, Sa Pa also has a drawback that its accommodations is still in poor condition. Also having welcomed tourist for a long time, Sa Pa does not have many good hotels due to its remote location. Many businessmen still hesitate to invest in here as they do not believe in Sa Pa’s potentials. That is why many tourists have complained about hotels in Sa Pa for their lack of basic facilities.

In short, Sa Pa is a tourist attraction that has both pros and cons. Its inadequate accommodations might make people vacillate to come there. However, I believe that other features of Sa Pa can outweigh its shortcoming and make it a more and more interesting place for every tourist.
